Mountain Mania Weekend Pictures

[Shibby!]

Just got some shots of the group we were riding with on Sunday. Visibility was great, and although there wasnt' the most snow, I don't think anybody was complaining.

Heres 2 of mine, the first one these trees just shot out of the ground right in front of me while I was boondocking, and the other one I hit a rock while high marking and ended up flipping over.

Shibby, were you the guy with the fancy camera with the large lens, taking pics in the top eastern bowl at Gorman. We were all sitting on the center portion watching someone take photo's of some guys jumping. One of the guys said "You can take a close up of an animal in the mountains from a long distance with that thing"

Yup, that was me. The lens is a Canon 70-200 F2.8 L. My body is not a full size sensor is it's equivalent to a 112-320mm 35mm camera lens. I do shoot wildlife, but it's on the verge of being a little short. My buddy has a 300mm prime with 2x teleconverter which makes shooting wildlife a whole lot easier. That's approx 960mm equivalent on a 35mm. Those shots were taken at 70mm (112mm equivalent) at F3.5. After I looked at them I wish I would have taken some with lower and higher F-stop, but there are only so many opportunities for taking pics. Plus I wanted to ride!

I like the one with you guys up on the ledge. I'm not too keen on hill climbing yet, but that would have been some view. I always turn out early as I don't need to roll my sled down a mountain =)

You got to make it next time, it was a blast. It's really interesting putting a face to the "Computer Icon"
Really enjoyed getting to meet everyone.

A big thanks to Parker from Whitecourt Yamy for alllowing many of us to experience a Turbo...wow is all I can say.
It's not often that someone will hand you the keys to a $20,000.00 (plus) sled and not look worried.

Here's my hitch, its bent in 3 area's, had to buy a new one. Thats what took all the impact.

 

[Summitric]

Ouch, Ron.......... You Need To Post The Pics Of The Back Of Your Trailer Too, With The Holes Punched In The Rear Door From The Tree!!!!!!!!!!

 

[SLEDBUNNYRACING]

Well done Ron...better the majority of the damage be to the hitch than the trailer and truck. I didn't check out the back of the trailer in the daylight

I think you better start by telling the Rest of the story to go with the pictures. Don`t leave out any details

 

[SLEDBUNNYRACING]

Hey Glen, after much research I think I finally found a photo of you at the event. I know you were very let down when watching videos that "that wasn't you" in most shots. Hope this is you in the photo???
LOL...lol...lol....
